Exploring image and imagination in conjunction with natural
environments, the animal, and the human, this collection of essays
turns the ecocritical and ecocompositional gaze upon comic studies.
The comic form has a long tradition of representing environmental
rhetoric. Through discussions of comics including A.D.: New Orleans
After the Deluge, We3, Concrete, and Black Orchid, these essays
bring the rich work of ecological criticism into dialogue with the
multi-faceted landscape of comics, graphic novels, web-comics,
cartoons, and animation. The contributors ask not only how nature
and environment are portrayed in these texts but also how these
textual forms inform how we come to know nature and environment--or
what we understand those terms to represent. Interdisciplinary in
approach, this collection welcomes diverse approaches that
integrate not only ecocriticism and comics studies, but animal
studies, posthumanism, ecofeminism, queer ecology, semiotics,
visual rhetoric and communication, ecoseeing, image-text studies,
space and spatial theories, writing studies, media ecology,
ecomedia, and other methodological approaches.
